Directional Control of Weight Forces in Rotating Bodies
The frame-dragging
effect tells us that when a body rotates around itself the metric of spacetime
around its surface is dragged. This
occurs, for example, in the metric of the spacetime around the Earth surface,
and produces the well-known phenomenon of shifting
of the orbits of the satellites near the Earth. Such as the orbits of the satellites, the force lines of the gravitational field
produced by rotating bodies are also affected by the frame-dragging effect.
This means that the direction of a gravitational
central force in a rotating body should be radially displaced, in respect to
their initial position. In this work, we show that the radial displacement
angle depends on the angular velocity of the rotating body, and that this fact
point to the possibility of controlling the direction of these gravitational central
forces, simply by controlling the angular velocity of the rotating body.
